How Can I Metabolize Juvederm Faster?

Swell216Dec 28, 2010
Female. 23 yo. Had juvederm injections in lips 2 months ago and procedure was botched. Ended up with asymmetry + two small lumps. Don't feel comfortable w/this surgeon and no other dr. will inject hyaluronidase. Having not performed original procedure - recommend letting product dissolve on its own. Problem is not extreme but very bothersome to me. Had juvederm before w/great results lasting >1 year. Don't want to wait so long. What can I do to help my body more quickly metabolize the juvederm?

Juvederm can be used to correct deep frown lines (glabellar rhytids, elevens) between the brows.   I think it is even more effective to have Botox done first  and then 10 days later have Juvederm to correct any wrinkle that is left.   Because the brow is not repetitively...

Fillers using Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultraplus, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, Fat Injections and even Sculptra volume augmentation, are not affected by the use of chemical peels or creams. The fillers are placed deeper than the effective penetration of the creams and peels

The beating of your heart might have been caused, not by the anesthetic cream, but the local anesthetic block as adrenaline is often in the anesthetic and sometimes quicker absorbtion in the mouth area causes the heart to race. This may not happen again, but be sure first that you are not...

Frankly, I haven't heard of such complications arising as a result of Juvederm or Restylane injections. Injectable Fillers are placed just below your skin, and large arteries or veins are typically not present. I think you will feel reassured after your consultation with a reputable...
